Pain Management Centers

Pain does not happen in a vacuum; it happens in a human being with a personality, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and ways of thinking. Chronic pain complicates people's lives, diminishes their emotional and physical capabilities, questions their coping strategies, and fatigues them and their family and friends. Chronic pain often adds stress that breaks down relationships with family and friends, leaving a person isolated and alone and feeling no one understands them or their pain. Depression, anger, and anxiety often result from chronic pain. A pain psychologist has studied pain and its effect on human functioning. He or she can help you with effective strategies and skills to increase your ability to cope with your pain. A pain psychologist can treat your depression and anxiety and help you to separate it from the pain so you no longer have the emotional "roller coaster" rides as your pain intensity varies. So when your physician refers you to a pain psychologist, realize how much he or she is invested in you getting holistic treatment.

• Modern Rites of Passage in the Wilderness: Guiding Young People to a Sober Adulthood

  By Meghan Vivo
  
  Much of what you read about wilderness therapy speaks of the life skills young people learn in the wilderness, such as communication, teamwork, and understanding natural consequences, which teach them to build positive relationships and pull themselves out of the pitfalls of adolescence.
